Yes,
I saw time stand still
in a fraction
of a second...peace

Saw it happen
as one touched another
in affection...peace

Caught the essence
as Jesus
fed the mulitude
and a mother's smile
nurtured
her child...peace

Yes,
I saw time stand still
as the bright summer moon rested
on a chimney top
and laughter
ruled the night...peace

Felt temporal illusions
vanish before a portrait
by Rembrant
capturing the subject's
inner spiritual psyche
as inspired men
cast off
their heavy macho ways
and hugged...peace

Yes,
I saw time stand still
as smiles lit the darkness
and tears
washed away sins...peace...peace...peace


A revision
The mirror is not my friend today
It has pilfered my youth
what little beauty I possessed
now softened or erased
by time the healer
time the thief

Raw moments
brand my face
with unedited lines
like pillow creases
that will never fade
from my skin

My eyes are circled black
lids stone-weighted
by what I cannot
bear to witness
sadness is their color
this day

the mirror is not my friend
it will not lie
somber eye to somber eye
the truth won't be denied
*what we have lost
can never be regained.
This one may need a little explanation.  It's not about vanity.  Everything that happens in our lives, all the hurtful things done to and by us and the **** that just happens, is written with each crow's foot, laugh line, or gray hair.  We wear our stories.   And even the truths we don't want to face can't be denied when we look into our own eyes.

Thank you for the great room this place has provided me
I was just like a little kid writer who wants to be free
In this house everyone has a special place to dance
Where one can sing and paint all words anytime, not just once


Thank you for the time spent reading all my words
For listening to my songs and understanding all the chords
My poems are just the scribbles coming from heart and soul
But I do wish a word can heal, one of my greatest goals


Thank you for the ray of light each of us have made
We are like a family, our sunshine never fades
Keep up all the good works, keep shining in this world
Each of us is a treasure, more precious than a gold

This is our house, my sisters, my brothers hear my call
Let us keep the peace and love by understanding all
We should not condemn or judge whatever word we say
Provided that we're not casting stones in all the ways

Hear the song  a singer sings to express all his love and care
Read the lines a poet has made like his heart and mind he shares
Look at the photographs when someone shows with joy
Could you ignore them and see them like your oldest toy?

A piece of art is still an art, either happy or sad
Why one would look at other's work as something that is bad?
Unless the post is like a gun pointed on your head
I know we have our eyes to see the real dark or red


This is our house, dear housemates, this is  our home
We live by our thoughts, our life is there in our poems
This is our place together, we should walk hand-in-hand
Speak our minds and listen, together we will stand!

~~¤~~
Let the speaker speak and hear the words you want to hear
If you do not want the song, then you don't have to scream
Need not to cast a stone and envy when one is tall
Life is like a cycle, tomorrow your name could be on the wall...

Today is normal
Nothing's special
I heard your voice
I played your songs
Letting it be recorded
At my own cassette,
My heart, my mind and soul.

Dawn* told a story,
I listened.

A story of a new found love,

Of the *Autumn
leaves,
a story I received.

Dusk sang a song,
I sang along.

A song of sorrow,

Of the Spring rain,
a song I sang.

Midday performed a play,
I watched.

A play of worn out emotions,

Of the Summer days,
the emotion stays.

Midnight wrote a poem,
I slept.

A poem of nothing,

Of Winter winds,
nothing was written.

Autumn* freezes to Winter,

My heart refuses,
to let you go.

Can we stay?

Through the cold to make it to Spring,
keeping eachother warm in the firelight.

It's getting colder,

The fire is freezing slowly,
we can ignite it once again.

We can make it,

Let me lead you,
take my hand and we can go.

It was unspoken,
words refused to move.

A silent decision was made,

You'd be seeing less of me,
it was okay as long as everyone was happy.

For the love that never got to live,

It lived again,
Spring thawed.

I was torn away from my love,

As long as you got yours,
I was alright.
This is dedicated to my alter Stormy.

jerely
Revealing the colors of the far west & east
glowing the natural distraction
Among the eyes at the contagious moment
as it captured the unexpected scene
the well crafted, spaced and filled the soul
As searching by the nearby's it narrowed
Wanders of the attraction
Spot for a different shade
Nailed by how great than excitement
Vivid, crying out the colors we blend
May it warm and embrace the lost
mind and heart
For it overwhelm the inside and out.
it's where we can dig our hearts
pour & let it out!
